I’m going to be gone until Sunday on the Solid trip, so no updates until Monday or Tuesday. My edits of Hella Track and Aaron Day’s jam should be posted on ESPN while I’m out, though, so feel free to click around over there if you want to watch them. In the meantime, check out Jesse Duval’s edit of both events – which is fucking dope – a few posts below this. And, with that, I’m going to leave you for the week with a screengrab from yesterday…
I’m not sure who most of the people are in this, but that transfer that Ty does at 3:44 is fucking wild.
I missed posting up a bunch of sections of this when they came out, so here they are. Alex Raban’s is up first, and the rest are after the jump.
(more…)Jackson Allen’s videos consistently please, and this Least Most offering is no different. Otis says: “Jackson’s super-cool!”
It was like being in a nightmare. 3rd period, about 2 minutes left and they were up over Vancouver by 1. But anyone who watches hockey, especially this season knows that if there even a seond left, something could still happen. With only 13 seconds left, the refs called an icing call against San Jose which caused the puck to come back to their zone. Vancouver quickly seized the opportunity, scored and drove a stake through the hearts of millions of SHARK fans, a fate we have suffered so many times in the playoffs. After the goal you could clearly see that the puck indeed hit Hendric Sedin in the shoulder which should not have been icing!!! I just had a bad feeling, they dominated every aspect of last night’s game. Maybe you could have given the first period to Vancouver, but all hockey after that was dominated by San Jose, they applied pressure, skated their balls off, and constantly put pucks on the net, controlled the neutral zone, cut off shooting lanes, and Neumi made some amazing saves. You would think destiny was in the air, but they didn’t get the win. Not the Sharks fault, they played amazing. So 20 minutes of the first overtime came and went. 2nd overtime period starts, Sharks managed control of the puck the majority of this period then the dreaded happened. As one of the Vancouver players went to dump the puck into the Sharks zone from the SJ blue line, EVERY player on the ice had no idea where the puck was. Todd McClellan said “Well, the only guy that knew where the puck was was Kevin Bieksa. He actually bounced it into the net. It’s one of those things that you absolutely have no control over.” It was that bad bounce that ended our season. No need to talk bad about the Sharks, they played well, and fate fucked them. Too many Sharks fans take for granted that we have gone to the playoffs 8 years in a row. Can’t say that about the 49ers, Giants, G-As, or the Oakland Gay-ders. So hats off to the Sharks, and my heart bleeds teal today.
Gotta give the dude props on that last gap – I’ve been wondering for awhile now who was going to bang that out.
You will find a lot of what some would consider “whack” shit in my nuts. Some have issues with this or that, but I don’t condone evil, I merely just spew my opinions here, thats it. Not asking anyone to do anything they don’t want. But when you see devastation, it puts your own life in perspective. So while Josh(s), Dustin, Rob Lee, Dennis Dowling, Nick Dawg, and friends were shredding the nar out of Cunningham last Saturday night, to the East people were trying to round up what control of their lives they had left after another huge twister took aim at another city, Joplin MO. My thoughts and heartfelt thoughts especially go out to our Aaron Foley, who has family there, but I heard his mother was not even in the state at the time. Do you believe in guardian angels?
The sheer wrath of mother nature. Hell have no fury like a woman scorned.

People walk a devastated street in Joplin, Missouri (map), on Sunday, hours after a tornado killed at least 116 people, as of Monday afternoon, and left the town in ruins.
The tornado tore a path roughly a mile (1.6 kilometers) wide and six miles (9.6 kilometers) long, destroying a hospital, flattening a school, and slamming cars into buildings, the Associated Press reported.
“You see pictures of World War II, the devastation and all that with the bombing. That’s really what it looked like,” Joplin resident and high school principal Kerry Sachetta told the AP.
The especially violent twister may have been an F5 tornado on the Fujita scale, which ranks tornadoes based on wind speed and damage potential, according to Jeff Masters, meteorological director for the Weather Underground website.
An F4 tornado packs winds from 207 to 260 miles (333 to 418 kilometers) an hour, while an F5 storm’s gusts rage from 261 to 318 miles (420 to 511 kilometers) an hour.
